Solving #SAT using vertex covers
Abstract We propose an exact algorithm for counting the models of propositional formulas in conjunctive normal form (CNF). Our algorithm is based on the detection of strong backdoo...

The Parameterized Complexity of Global Constraints
We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propag...

Detecting Backdoor Sets with Respect to Horn and Binary Clauses
We study the parameterized complexity of detecting backdoor sets for instances of the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) with respect to the polynomially solvable classes ...

Computing Horn Strong Backdoor Sets Thanks to Local Search
In this paper a new approach for computing Strong Backdoor sets of boolean formula in conjunctive normal form (CNF) is proposed. It makes an original use of local search technique...
